On 15 November 2023 the Guide to Next Generation of Russian Arbitrators (NGAR) held a seminar "Choosing arbitrators for Russian disputes" at Dubai Arbitration Week.
The event promoted a discussion of the challenges which the Russian parties face when appointing arbitrators for their disputes as well as strategies to ensure the effectiveness of this process.
We are thrilled to announce that on 9 September we will be launching the Russian Arbitrators Guide: Next Generation. This is the first comprehensive guide to the under-45 arbitrators with significant experience of handling and resolving Russia-related disputes. The Guide covers professional affiliations, education, procedural preferences of the participants, as well as examples of cases they handled.
The Guide will include profiles of 86 lawyers practicing or practiced in 10 jurisdictions who speak and can handle arbitrations in, among others, Russian, Ukrainian, English, German, Italian, French and Spanish languages. More than half of the lawyers profiled in the Guide already have experience acting as arbitrators.
Apart from this web-site, a print version of the Guide will be available for purchase.
We are grateful to the general sponsor of the initiative – Monastyrsky, Zyuba, Stepanov & Partners and Baker Botts, Dentons, Egorov Puginsky, Afanasiev & Partners, Morgan Lewis for their financial support, and to Legal Insight – the publisher of the guide. Creation of the Guide would have been impossible without assistance from the members of the Advisory Board - experienced lawyers and arbitrators. Nor would the Guide be possible without the tireless work of Alisa Protasova and Alexey Slashchilin – the Guide’s Coordinators.
